32 vs 64-bit Install
After upgrading a few of our machines to RedHat 5.1, we've re-installed WL10 MP1 to them, using the same server1001_generic.jar file we been using for RedHat 5 machines for about a year. I was trying to start the NodeManager on the new 5.1 machines and I see the message:
weblogic.nodemanager.common.ConfigException: Native version is enabled but node manager native library could not be loaded
I sourced commEnv.sh and it's setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to WLHOME/server/native/linux/x86_64, which is appropriate since the machines are 64-bit. However, that directory was not installed by the WL install; instead we have the 32-bit version WLHOME/server/native/linux/i686.
Running uname -m returns "x86_64" so I'm wondering why the installer would only create the i686 directory? Especially when I run the same install command on RH5 and it only installs the x86_64 directory? Any ideas would be appreciated.
Note: I can set NativeVersionEnabled=false in nodemanager.properties and it runs, but I need everything to run 64-bit and I don't want to just mask the real problem.

I did find this:
http://e-docs.bea.com/platform/suppconfigs/configs/rhelinux/rhel50_100.html#102284
We never did this work around for RH5 because it installed the /server/native/linux/x86_64 directory on its own, so it worked fine. Now suddenly it's installing i686. Plus, wont this force the JVM to run in a hybrid mode instead of true 64-bit? I checked the files in i686 and they are ELF 32-bit compiled, and the ones in x86_64 are ELF 64-bit.

Is there a 64 bit install for Adobe Reader?
Hello,
I want to make a note that I did a search on the form, using the following text
"Is there a 64 bit install for adobe reader?"
And I did not find my answer. That is why I'm posting this as a question.
So, with that out of the way....
I am getting ready to build a new computer for myself, and will be running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit. Before I begin, I want to make sure I have all of my software that I want installed, and I am doing research on each program to see if there is a 64 bit version that can be installed. What I would like to do is have as many as my programs that I install be 64 bit as possible. I know that not every program will be 64 bit, but I did want to get as many of them as possible to be 64 bit applications.
As I do want a PDF reader on my computer, and I have used Adobe Reader for years, I started looking on the web site to download the current version. However, I did not see any place that I could download a 64 bit version of Adobe Reader.
That is why I'm here asking. Is there a 64 bit version of Adobe Reader that I can download? If so, where is it on the web site?
This does lead me to a follow up question. Is there a 64 bit version of the Flash Player, as well as the Shockwave player? If so, where can I download them from as well.
Thanks in advance,
--Brian Plencner
[signature deleted by host]Again, I think you need to check the Microsoft web page, as I was able to find 64 bit versions of IE8 for download.
The URL to access the page is
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/downloads/ie-8
From that page, I am able to select a 64 bit version of IE 8 for the following Operating Systems
-- Windows XP 64 Bit
-- Windows Vista 64 Bit
-- Windows Server 2003 64 Bit
-- Windows Server 2008 64 Bit
Windows 7 is not listed as an option as it already comes with IE8 installed by default.
Looks to me that Microsoft has already released a 64 bit version of IE8.
In fact, I went ahead and downloaded IE8 for Windows 2003 Server x64 bit, and looked at the details of the file. Each microsoft download has a digital signature associated with them, showing a date and time of when the exe was built.
According to what is shown below, IE8 for Windows Server 2003 has been around since Sunday, March 08, 2009.
So, what has adobe been doing since March of 2009? IE8 has been 64 bit for well over 2 years now (it will be 3 in March of 2012). While I know that it does take time to develop new applications, I don't think it would take 3 years for Adobe to come up with a 64 bit version of Reader that could have been built under the 64 bit platform.

OBIEE 11g 64-bit install on Windows 64-bit
I wanted to solicit any experiences that the user forum is having with installing 11g on a 64-bit Windows platform. I understand that the Admintool/Job Manager will not run with the 64-bit installation package but we can install the newly released Client install to circumvent this. I am seeing many forums out there in which the 64-bit OBIEE install is done as Simple or Enterprise. My understanding is that this is useless as the bundled WebLogic utilizes at 32-bit JVM. There is a Doc ID out on Metalink (ID 1220564.1) that states one can only do a Software Install. So we have proceeded with the following steps of downloading first the Java 64-bit JVM, then a WebLogic instance utilizing the 64-bit JVM (java -D64 -jar xxx.jar) and finally the OBIEE Software Only install.
The issue we are running into is that the Install fails when attempting to start the OPMN. So during the install the "Executing:opmnctl start coreapplication_obips1
" fails and references the OPMN not starting. We are unable to start the OPMN service as well. We have a static IP, so this not the known issue with the loopback adapter. The other issue I saw was having to install the VC++ 2005 SP1 libraries per another Metalink Doc ID (1226254.1). This was all done, however, the install continues to fail.
It seems the lack of knowledge from support as well as the vague/lack of documentation is frustrating. I just wanted to ping the OTN community around this scenario.Thanks Paul, really appreciate the update. Spent this morning rebuilding our environment with 64-bit (Win 2008) and starting from scratch. The install has now succeeded. I tell you one thing you pointed out is something we noticed when we proceeded with the second install. That was the WebLogic version. I had initially used .4 and on the second install we used .3. I am guessing that this may have been the issue.
I will verify with our Oracle resources and I hope this post will assist other when doing the 64-bit install as I think it is very vague in the documentation.
I will update the post with Oracles response as well.
Just as an FYI... the reason this issue came up in the first place was we did an Enteprise Install on 64-bit and found that the Gauge Charts weren't working in the SampleAppLite Subject Area. So I will add that to the Tags for this post.
Hope this post helps others and they don't go through the headaches of a wrong install type. -
Drivers/Utilities CD..XP and VISTA..can I use vista for WIN7 64 bit install?
Drivers/Utilities CD's, that came with the p-35 Motherboard..XP and VISTA..can I use Vista for WIN7 64 bit install, or download the chip set drivers for Awin7 BEFORE the OS install??
MSI P-35 Platinum
Q6600 Core 2 Quad
Presently XP 32Bit
NVidia geforce 8600GT
8GB DDR2 SDRAM PC6400-800MHz
Windows 7..waiting to be installed.
Hello,
I WANT TO DO A CLEAN INSTALL.I have Windows 32 Home XP, I have the Win7 OEM I want to install.
When i bought my MSI mobo, it came with both the drivers and utilities for XP and Vista. Can I use the chip set drivers and utilities for Vista, until i can go to MSI and download the latest chip set drivers? When do i install these drivers....before the OS install, or after?
Can I format these drives first, go in the BIOS change to boot sequence from Raptor Boot Drive to the DVD/Rom to boot the WIN7 from, or should I format while installing Win7?
Someone on another forum suggested that 1) disconnect the two droves, then install the OS on the boot drive, and2) before win7 install, make the proposed boot drive (NOT THE DVD/CD ROM the first choice priority for the boot sequence....is this right?
Is it absolutely necessary to unplug the other two drives, while formatting and installing the WIN7 O.S.? People tell me that there is a chance of the OS installing sometimes on the other drives.
Also, if I want to change the now present boot drive Local disk letter (C) to my storage drive (G) and the other two drive letters, can I do this in manage disks, anytime, or only during windows setup install?
ThxI've never had this much trouble hooking up a HDD.
I have two IDE DVD/CD ROMS. (My RAID MODE was IDE in XP OS, and still is with WIN7.)
I have three SATA HDD's.
After unplugging the SATA 2TB HDD while I installed the WIN7 OS on the 500 GB HDD (it was on the 74 RAPTOR, but I moved location, and made absolutly sure nothing went on my raptor)
So today I decided to re-hook up the 2TB Storage HDD, and when I did, I went into bios,and to the cell menu, and LOAD ALL DEFAULT SETTINGS, so it could see my newly installed HDD,which I had all my backup Data from the previous HDD. I also checked and the RAID MODE was IDE, and the boot sequence was the WDC 500GB Boot/OS drive, rebooted,then I got that annoying blanked out screen with that blinking cursor, so I got back into the bios,and changed the 1st boot to the IDE Pioneer DVD/CD ROM, 2nd boot to the 500GB HDD, and rebooted again..still got that blinking cursor.
I opened up the Mobo, checked and replugged all SATA, and power cables to the three HDDS, tried it again,then still got the blinking cursor. Seems no matter what I change in the boot sequence,it never wants to boot properly
....AND THEN,
I started with TAB > POST> started WINDOWS, then once it opened up, I went to manage Disks, saw all three HDDs were online and healthy. Win. Explorer also listed them in that folder, in device manager, it listed all three too.
The managed window showed this:
74GB (system,active,Primary partition) Storage
2TB (Primary partition) Excessive Storage
500GB (Boot, page files,crash-Dump, Primary partition) Operating system
Both the PCI IDE BusMaster and ON-Chip SATA Controller were both ENABLED.
Before I just got online, I tried RESTART, and it opened Windows the usual way, so I hope I don't have any more problems. It worked fine BEFORE I just plugged in the 2TB HDD back in.
I pretty much did what everyone suggested,except for leaving in the 74GB Raptor when I installed WIN7, which prompted me to format the drive prior to installing the OS. Also, when I changed the IDE, RAID,and AHC1, to the AHC1 Mode, just before I installed Window7, like a few suggested, I also had problems, so after the install, I went back and changed it back to IDE. My Floppy was an IDE, but I removed it from my system, and disabled in BIOS, but even a few times I went into Bios and saw that thje floppy was 1st Boot, even though I changed to either the DVD/CD Rom, or the 500GB boot drive.
So what is the preferred boot sequence? -
Legitimate newly purchased Premiere Elements-10 32-bit install files not available
Friends:
I purchased an $1100 Nikon camera and the deal included OEM PS Premiere Elements 10.
Legit purchase with a CD and legit Serial #.
Can't install because what is Adobe's fault, not the camera vendor's and certainly not mine.
Adobe's own published notice:
"The 64-bit version of Adobe Premiere Elements 10 only installs on Windows 7 64 bit. If you have Windows XP 64 bit or Vista 64 bit, it's necessary to install the 32-bit version. Because the Adobe Download Assistant automatically downloads the 64-bit version in error, it's necessary to download the 32-bit version manually through alternate means."
The problem is that the same holds true for installing on XP Pro SP3 and Adobe makes no mention of it in the above admission.
Then, Adobe's own Solutions 1, 2 & 3 for manual download all fail, even after fussing for days over it.
Even Solution 3, the last ditch option, fails perhaps because Elements 11 is out and Adobe has killed the 10 download Ftp sites.
Files I am unable to download from Adobe (without entrapment by so called Free Dowload sites) are:
http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/PRE/10/win32/PremiereElements_10_LS15_win32.exe
http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/PRE/10/win32/PremiereElements_10_LS15_win32.7z
How can I solve my dilemma, being denied my right to learn Elements from a legally purchased 10 and being
forced to purchase 11 instead on top it. Fair?
I am requesting Adobe politely to make it possible to download the Adobe recommended two files withou hassles.
I must mention in this context my own (and thousands of others') sad experience with Flash updates. Just follow
my own (and others') posts in Adobe forums. Plus, just read the Internet posts along these lines:
"It's impossible to download anything from Adobe. I have given up and I have given up on Adobe products."
Not that I want to, but I am forced into echoing the same sentiment.
Can anyone help, please ?
Thanks,
Pradip A.Hello Mr. Wright:
The download now works. Appreciate your help.
The ...7z file is 1.37 Gb long. I have super high speed Fibre Optic Internet connection with Bell. I rarely have the ocassion to download files of this size. After downloading more than 1 Gb, the transfer hung - either at the Client end, or at the Server end. Bell is sending tech Thursday to mitigate some line noise they detected. Hopefully, the stars will fall into the right place before long.

Outlook 'Bitness' registry key not set. by 64-bit install of Office 2013
A 32-bit version of Office 2013 was installed by default on Windows 8.
I uninstalled this and installed the 64-bit version as per http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/choose-the-32-bit-or-64-bit-version-of-office-HA102840825.aspx.
But the Outlook "Bitness" registry key is missing, i.e. no \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Bitness.
(Note: the old 32-bit install had key \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Bitness)
Thank you for any insights as to why the key isn't set.Hi,
Thank you for posting in the MSDN Forum.
Since the issue is more relate to the end-user, I'd like to move it to Outlook IT pro forum.
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us.
Thanks for your understanding.

Firefox 11.0 32bit, Win7 64 bit, FP 11.2.202.233 64 bit install finishes, lists only 11.2.202.228
Hello---
I have Firefox 11.0 32 bit running under Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1 with all current Windows updates.
I am trying to install Flash Player 64 bit Non-IE installer, version 11.2.202.233.
I close Firefox before installing, installation says it completes successfully, loads Firefox, says Flash Player is working.
I load Add-ons Manager, check installed version of Flash Player, it lists as:
11.2.202.228
Which is obviously the previous version.
I have tried this repeatedly, with exact same result.
I have also tried the links available on Filehippo.com,
on the off chance the Bootstrap Downloader was causing the problem.
The full Non-IE 64 bit install package yielded exact same results as described above.
I would like to complete the install of the new version properly but it doesn't appear to be working.
I have no Antivirus products installed, and I am allowing the Bootstrap Downloader through my Software Firewall,
download and install both register as 100% successful so Firewall is not the issue.
Thanks,
FerencAs reflected in my poste (copy below), I am getting the same thing on multiple Windows PC's, both 32 and 64 bit.
BTW, As indicated below, I see Firefox reporting the older version of Flash when I go to the Adobe test page. Where do you see this in Firefox Add-Ons Manager? I cannot see any listing for Flash anywhere in there. Can you please be more specific. Thank you.

Firefox 11 Not Reporting Correct Version of Flash v. 11.2.202.233
This question is Not Answered.(Mark as assumed answered)
Today (April 14, 2012) I installed the new Adobe Flash v. 11.2.202.233 on four computers (several Mac and several PC/Windows).
Eveything went fine except that Firefox does not seem to have the new Flash on any of the Windows PC's (it worked fine on Mac). That is, when I go to the Adobe test page (http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/), it is reporting that Firefox is using the immediately prior version 11.2.202.228. However, all other Windows browsers (e.g., Opera, IE, etc.) all report the correct version on that test page.
And I checked Windows Programs and Updates and it shows version 11.2.202.233 installed.
So, why is Firefox 11 showing the old version? Anyone have any ideas and hopefully a fix?
Adobe, you should fix this.

32 bit is installed on my 64 bit Win 7 system - how to get 64 bit installed?
It appears that my Win 7 64 bit system has the 32 bit version of iTunes running even though I've been using the 64 bit installer. It's possible it's had the 32 bit version previously and I didn't realize it; I only started looking deeper because it's running terribly. I looked at the Task manager and all the Apple processes are 32 bit.
How do I get 64 bit installed instead? Do I need to completely deinstall iTunes first? If so, how can I not lose all of the apps and music I've previously downloaded? Would the library have to get recreated from scratch too? I have two iPhone 4's and will soon add a 4s to the collection.Because Windows comes with a 32 bit AND a 64 bit Internet Exploder. Adobe can't change that.
The ActiveX installer puts both plug-ins on your system per Microsoft requirements.
C/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash and C/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash
Or, perhaps you're referring to the "Flash Player (32-bit)" in the control Panel.
THAT'S the Global Settings Manager, which IS a 32 bit application ,and again, per Microsoft requirements, it MUST be listed as a 32 bit app in the Control Panel. -
[SOLVED] 64 Bit Install - Wireless / Kernel Issue
Hi All
I decided to install the 64 bit version of Arch from scratch instead of upgrading the existing 32 bit. I downloaded and attempted to install "Arch 2011.08.19 X86_64".
The first problem was that I couldn't get the wireless up and running. I did the usual:
cp /etc/network.d/examples/wireless-wpa /etc/network.d/talktalk
nano /etc/network.d/talktalk
netcfg talktalk
I edited the talktalk file to give it my ESSID etc. and usually when I do an install the network comes straight up, when I use "netcfg talktalk" - but not in this case. I got an error about there were no wireless extensions installed or something similar. I rebooted and noticed an error as the system came up:
b43 - phy0 Error: Found unsupported PHY (Analog 10, Type 8, Revision 1)
Obviously I looked into this and it seems it's a known problem; something to do with a mistake someone made in a unit in the kernel or something like that. A programming error anyway.
I then plugged my laptop straight into the router and installed via the wired connection instead and installed. I still have the problem even after "sudo pacman -Syu" upgrade. From what I've read it seems the way to get around it is to downgrade the kernel - documented here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Do … g_Packages - but I don't much like that idea. What happens when I subsequently run an upgrade? It will probably just fall over again right?
Anyone got an alternative solution? I had a look at upgrading to the Testing repo but obviously that has all sorts of potential issues which I don't want to have to spend the time resolving. For the time being I've fallen back to my 32 bit Arch system but it would be nice to know how to resolve the 64 bit issue.
Thanks for any help / suggestions

Windows 8 64-bit install on 970a-g46 Mainboard AHCI and NVIDIA DRIVER issues
My Box:
MSI 970A-G46
BIOS 1.9 (AUG 2012) (Tried 1.11 but the nightmare started then)
AMD FX-6100 (STOCK SPEED AND SETTINGS) WITH OEM HSF
16GB PATRIOT VIPER 3 (1866) RUNNING @ (1600)
USED an EVGA 9800GT 1ST AND UPGRADED TO NVIDIA REFERENCE CARD GTX 550 Ti (1GB) WITH SAME ISSUES
90gb MonsterDigital Daytona SATA III SSD DRIVE (OS and minimal programs)
Antec HE 550
I am at a point of pulling my hair out. I decided to upgrade my system to enhance Diablo III game play. I got a combo deal on the mainboard and cpu, and thought the speed of the game caching on a SSD would also help. The first attempt which took a little struggle was Vista 64-bit. Eventually, I was able to get the OS to work with me, and it was smooth. Since M$ decided to offer the Windows 8 Pro upgrade for only $39.99, I thought, what do I had to lose. Well….lots of time. Now, I am not a newbie, though SSD drives haven’t been more than an interesting thought. So yes, I read many guides on everything from Trim enabled Win 7 and 8, and many other do’s and don’ts. What is driving me to the Netherlands of hell, is the installation and how buggy it has been. It boils down to drivers for the IDE/SATA/AHCI CONTROLLER. First, even thought it “sees” the SSD on installation drive selection, after pulling the USB installation drive, the system forgets it, and there is a “problem with the boot sector”. If you load the driver from the AMD site, it lets the install occur “fine”, but there is an issue with that driver which causes an irq conflict which leads to D3 audio issues and freeze ups. I did finally get things in order (not sure which driver I choose for that), and things were smooth, except I tried to install the GTX 550 ti and that led to a corrupt file error, which the system runs a check disk and cycles the “preparing to repair” and “diagnosing PC” a few times and never allows me to enter SAFE MODE (shift+f8), to disable the NVIDIA driver that is buggy, and doesn’t allow for the NVIDIA Control Panel to install without losing video, and starts the repair cycles again… Leading to ANOTHER RE-INSTALL...
My question, for the Windows 8 Pro installation on the 970a-G46 mainboard and then after install is complete, which driver is the correct choice for the AHCI/SATA Controller? All I find is Win7 64-bit AHCI inf’s, and SB7XX 64-bit inf’s (no SB950 INF). The Driver disk which came with the mainboard is very dated pre Win 8 stuff, ASMEDIA X106 which are not recognized by the OS as written for Win 8. AMD’s latest drivers are the ones causing the IRQ type lags and corruption.
What version, build and type of Windows 8 installations have you used on this mainboard, and what drivers allowed you install it without the above conflicts? Your input may decrease my insanity… So, thank you in advance…Quote from: m0r9h3u5 on 28-January-13, 12:11:16
I understand what you are telling me, only the generic drivers deliver subpar results. What is the point of running those drivers instead of windows 8 certified drivers written for said devices. My last install is functioning better, but still windows update fails every attempt, the apps i install (ie. weather bug) on the start screen wont load... to me windows 8 is a big fail....but that is just my view...
OK...I also own the 970a G46, and my upgrade experience from Win7 x64 AHCI to Win8 x64 AHCI was flawless the first time. No problems at all. You are running an AMD chipset board with a nVidia gpu, which means that your chipset drivers are not automatically updated with every gpu driver update you do--this would happen automatically if you owned an AMD gpu because AMD includes them in its gpu driver install packages. But--all you have to do to get the proper drivers for your motherboard is go here and download them. You only need the *chipset drivers* from this page--you do not need the RAID drivers, of course. That's it. It's no big deal, and back in the days when nVidia was making motherboard chipsets you had to separately download both the motherboard chipset drivers from nVidia and the AMD gpu drivers from AMD if you did not also own a nVidia gpu.
From your description of your problems it sounds like your installation of Win8 is hosed and you need to format C:\ and clean install from scratch, anyway, so...
A note about AHCI--the *ideal* way to install the AHCI drivers is prior to installing your OS for the first time, you enter the UEFI and set "AHCI" in the appropriate place, instead of IDE, and *then* you reboot from DVD and install your OS which will automatically install the correct AHCI driver from Windows. After the driver installation is complete you should then install the updated 970a drivers from AMD as linked above.
However, it is actually very easy to activate and install AHCI *after* you have installed Windows in normal IDE mode:
To enable AHCI in existing Windows 8 IDE Installation's
Caution: Do NOT enable AHCI in UEFI prior to making the following changes in your Registry! If you had AHCI enabled alreadyin UEFI, disable it first and restart your computer!
Use WinKey + R and type Regedit in the command line and hit the Enter key, this will open the Registration Editor.
Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/services/iaStorV
right click on Start, select Modify and set Data Value to 0
Close Registration Editor and restart computer.
While booting, open the UEFI Page and set the SATA Mode to AHCI from IDE
Save UEFI settings and restart.
Windows will now install the AHCI drivers automatically and they should work without issues.
In order to avoid installation problems just like you have been experiencing, here is what I would do in your shoes:
1) Set UEFI for normal IDE drive mode
2) Reboot into IDE mode and install your OS
3) After you have finished with the installation, you should be having no troubles in IDE mode. Then go to the instructions above on how to properly enable AHCI *after* you have installed Windows 8 in normal IDE mode.
4) After everything is coming up roses in AHCI mode and you are having no problems, then install the AMD chipset drivers as linked above and you are golden.
Those 4 steps worked perfectly for me the first time (the first time I got them right, that is...).
There's nothing wrong with Win8--this is strictly operator error caused by insufficient research into what AHCI is and how to properly enable it. The Internet has some bad info on Win8 registry settings for AHCI because of the developer preview and the consumer preview versions of Win8 that Microsoft released to the public prior to the final shipping build--many "instructions" for Win8 are therefore not valid for the shipping version of Win8. At first I made some of the same goofs that you did, but now you get to benefit from my hard-won experience... Good luck! Should work like a charm. And, registry AHCI is done differently in Win8 than it is done in Win7 or Vista. Also, the registry settings relative to AHCI in Windows 8 for AMD are different from the registry values that must be changed for an Intel controller.
Parenthetically, My FX-6300 (Vishera) will be here in a couple of days! Yeah! -
Windows 7 64-bit instal error on new ST9750420AS Momentus HD in HP Envy 15
windows 7 64-bit installation error on brand new ST9750420AS Momentus 3Gb/s 750-GB Hard Drive in HP Envy 15
I installed a brand new ST9750420AS Momentus 3Gb/s 750-GB Hard Drive in my HP Envy 15 laptop, and I was getting an error in the last installation step of Windows 7, 64-bit, ultimate, indicating that Windows could not support or be installed on the computer hardware. It turns out that the drivers for the new internal hard drive, need to be installed/loaded during the initial windows install.
the drivers that ended up working are available from intel at:
RST Driver Files v.10.1, 64-bit
the steps that are requires are:
1) download the f6flpy-x64.zip file above, and unzip to a usb pen-drive
2) when installing windows 7, in the configure option of the volumes, even if windows appears to recognize the drive, it is recommended to delete all existing volumes (Advanced options), and then LOAD DRIVER, and BROWSE to the usb pen-drive, while indicating to only list drivers that are compatible with the hardeware. here is quick list of similar steps with diagrams.
3) in this case the compatible driver name is "INTEL MOBILE EXPRESS CHIPSET SATA RAID CONTROLLER¨
4) continue to configure volumes, and installing windows 7,
5) everything should work fine.Hi Srizzle, I have done some research for you and I have found a updated driver that is designed to resolve the issue of No sound from head phones or from external speakers. Please click on the link to get to the driver down load page.
